I am attempting to replace the impeller from my SMX pump. I installed it 3 years ago and in order to remove the old Sherwood pump I had to remove the motor mount. As you can see the impeller can only come out 3/4 of the way due to the fuel hose that comes off of the fuel filter and goes to the injection pump? (Bosch). I need to remove this hose to finish and it appears it would be easiest to remove the banjo fitting at the pump. (second picture red circle) Is this fitting under high pressure or can I easily remove it. This is being done on the easy to get at engine so I am looking for the easiest way when I do the port engine.
I know some say that it is easiest to pull the whole pump but it appears to me that I can not get to the lower bolt(s) because of the motor mount. Question, are there two bolts on the bottom of the pump or just one? (third picture)Thanks
